BULVERDE, COMAL COUNTY - A plan to bring much needed retail and housing options to a city just north of San Antonio is officially underway. The plan, a project known as Singing Hills, will span a total of 250 acres of land at the northwest corner of US 281 and SH 46.

At build out, Singing Hills will boast more than 260,000 sf of retail space. The retail portion of the project already has a major retailer in tow — Walmart, which plans to build a new Supercenter.

The plans for the single-family portion of Singing Hills call for a total of 350 homes that will range in price from $350,000 to $400,000. A multifamily development is also in the works for the project.

SH-DJL Development is receiving a total of $11.1 million in tax incentives from Comal County and Bulverde to help it recoup infrastructure improvements it is making to the 250-acre tract — including the construction of a 240,000-gallon-per-day wastewater and reuse treatment facility.
